The historic Bad Little Falls Park is one that we seem to think is so underrated! Every time we visit, the roaring waterfalls never fail to take our breath away! Bring a lunch, sit down at the picnic tables, & listen to the falls while watching the birds swoop for fish.

The Bold Coast Puffin Tours out of Cutler are EXTREMELY popular. This tour does have to be booked far in advance as the guide only has a select number of spots available. Guests have told us many stories about waiting by the phone & ringing him off the hook when his books open to try and get a spot. Get up close and personal with these puffins— watching them from blinds on Seal Island. So cool!!

Cutler is a small town along the coast that we adore. The Bold Coast trails have amazing views of the ocean and are so well done. These trails have become very popular over the last two years. See boats coming in and out of the harbor, and if booked far enough in advance, take a Puffin tour!! Go to an island to watch and learn about these gorgeous birds.

Or maybe start your meal that way. ;) Sit in your car or outside at picnic tables overlooking the River.

Pat’s Pizza is a great place for a quick meal! Many more options than just pizza. Try yummy subs, wraps, wings, and more! While they don’t serve you in a sit-down fashion, place your order and eat outside at picnic tables or eat inside the restaurant (just not waited on)! For my pineapple lovers, it totally belongs on pizza. ;) Ryle wouldn’t agree with me!
